July 7, 2001 - Van Fire - Rt. 83 & Union Street

Just another typical Saturday afternoon in Vernon - multiple calls going on at the same time.  This van fire was just one of many calls Vernon responded to that afternoon.  Below Lt. Edgar Jackson was first on scene awaiting an engine.  Engine Tank 141 was first on scene with a driver and firefighter only.  Due to the lack of manpower, Firefighter Jeff Haynes was assisted by Vernon Police Officer Rich Haynes, who is also a Vernon firefighter with Engine Tank 141 and ALSO Jeff's father.  What great team work!
